There is not one shred of evidence I've seen yet that says that the person who asked that is a Sanders' supporter. So to back up a lie she told another one. What a wonderful gift.

I'm sick and tired of people pretending to be Democrats getting angry when asked if they are one....when in FACT, they are Christo-fascists with records to prove their right wing hawkishness.
Makes me want to spit up.

Clinton actually EMBRACES the Fossil Fuel industry! All this reticence is a big joke. Get it?
Meet the Fossil Fuel Lobbyists Raising Money for Hillary Clinton
By Paul Blumenthal and Kate Sheppard | Tue Jul. 21, 2015 11:47 AM ED
A list of 40 registered lobbyists that the Clinton camp disclosed to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday revealed a number of Democratic Party lobbyists who have worked against regulations to curb climate change, advocated for offshore drilling, or sought government approval for natural gas exports.
Clinton, the former secretary of state, has called climate change the most "consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face as a nation and a world" and says it would be a major focus of her administration if she wins the White House. But having so many supporters who have sold their services to fossil fuel companies may complicate her emphasis on pro-environment policies.
Scott Parven and Brian Pomper, lobbyists at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, have been registered to lobby for the Southern California-based oil giant Chevron since 2006, with contracts totaling more than $3 million. The two bundled Clinton contributions of $24,700 and $29,700, respectively. They have helped Chevron over the years resist efforts to eliminate oil and gas tax breaks and to impose regulations to reduce carbon emissions.
